To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, RODERICK SUTHERLAND BRADBURY, merchant, of Dane Cottage, Buglawton, Congleton, county of Chester, England, have invented new and useful Improve- `ments inGamesfot which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to a new game in which by means ofl a bent blade-spring which canbe adjusted in llateral direction balls are` thrown into cups which are of different value and accordinglynumbered.

This game requires skill and exercise.

In the accompanying drawings the apparatus which :is used for playingV the game is shown in Figu-re l in a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a section of Fig. 1, and Figs. 3 and 4c represent in section a modiied construction of the apparatus. l

The apparatus for playing the game consists of a case l, which may be either open at the front part or provided with a low front wall 8. On thebottom 2.0i the `caseand on the high back'wall 3 of the same a certain to the value which the ball thrown into the respective cu-p would gain. At the front end lof the bottom 2 a bent blade-spring 5 is fixed in a foot 6 by means of an adj u'sting-screw '7 in such a manner that theblade-spring can be turned inlateral direction. In the upper `springs in the direction of the cup 4 toward which it was aimed.

If one wants to use the rebounding action of balls for playing the game the balls may be of elastic material or the bottom 2 may be lined with elastic covering 11, Fig. 4..

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-- ent, is i An apparatus for playing a ball game con-V sisting of a case with low front wall, cups systematically arranged onthe bottom and on the back wall of said case and a blade-spring loosely fixed on the front end of the bottom, the outer end of said blade-spring being horizontally bent backward and a circular opening in the said upper end as a rest for the ball, substantially as described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set Amy hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

RODERICK SUTHERLAND BRADBURY.
